I went to the festival. http://www.heritagemusicfest.com/

I had a great time. I am now a grad of 10 treatments. Mouth is starting to blister, and burn most of the time, especially after hygienic activities. I put some cinnamon mouthwash in my mouth and lit up like a match head tonight.

I have been doing the gym, and I cleaned out a shed today. I feel like I am dragging today but get through the activity and actually want to do more.

My mouth is drying out fast.

To be honest the pain I feel now makes me think that in 10 more treatments I will really be in pain. I usually do well with pain but I am thinking this will kick me more than your average hyper-extended knee, torn acl, or catching a line drive with your teeth.

The doc is telling me that I will be sick after treatments which mean after my job protection period is over for disability. This is the part that scares me more than the treatments.
